TIPS FOR YOUR PERFECT TREE…
Before you go, be sure to pick out a good location in your home to place the tree. It should be away from a heat source - especially a fireplace. Also, consider how much height can you handle? You need at least a foot between the top of your tree and your ceiling.
When you visit us, select your tree and cut it as close to the ground as you can. (Or we can cut it for you.) We’ll shake it out for you, getting rid of any debris that could end up on your floor, wrap it up and make it ready for the trip home.
When you get home, take a handsaw and cut about an inch from its base, which makes it easier for water to be absorbed - that helps keeps the tree greener longer.
Keep your tree green by placing it in a good sturdy stand that holds about a gallon and a half of water. Keep plenty of water in the base, because when the base dries, your tree starts to die.
When you decorate the tree, be safety conscious and use only properly inspected lighting.
